While the Senate Agriculture Committee has advanced its version of the bill, the bank noted the Banking Committee still controls the toughest issues, leaving timelines uncertain. Lawmakers are expected to keep working even during a potential shutdown, with target dates in the coming months still attainable, though there is a rising risk that talks delay final passage beyond 2026. “We see the passage of the CLARITY Act as the essential catalyst for…

A Columbia Business School professor is raising concerns about the scant details in the New York Stock Exchange’s plan to build a blockchain for real-world asset tokenization, amid fears it could run against the ethos of crypto. In an X post on Tuesday, Omid Malekan said NYSE’s announcement read like “vaporware” and that many questions remain unanswered, including which chain it would be built on, whether tokens would be permissioned, permissionless, or a combination of both and what the tokenomics and fee set-up would look like. Vaporware refers to a product that has been announced and hyped but does not…

Coinbase (COIN) CEO Brian Armstrong is running into a wall — and it looks a lot like the heads of America’s biggest banks.

Jensen Huang wants you to know the AI industry isn’t a bubble—despite looking like a bubble. At the World Economic Forum in Davos this week, the Nvidia CEO told BlackRock’s Larry Fink that the infrastructure powering artificial intelligence needs “trillions of dollars” more investment over the coming years. The alternative? Ultimate failure. Huang framed AI as a “five-layer cake” that starts with energy at the bottom, then chips, cloud infrastructure, AI models, and finally applications at the top. Each layer, he explained, requires massive buildout before the ones above can properly function. “We’re now a few hundred billion dollars into…

According to breaking news, the Ethereum Foundation and Vitalik Buterin are creating a $220 million security fund to be financed by “TheDAO”. The 2016 TheDAO attack is considered one of the most critical turning points in Ethereum’s history. The attacker’s seizure of approximately 4.5% of all $ETH in circulation at the time plunged the network into an existential crisis; ultimately, a hard fork resulted in Ethereum splitting into two, giving rise to Ethereum Classic. Almost a decade later, this largest security vulnerability in Ethereum’s history will now be used to strengthen the ecosystem’s security. Assets remaining from the TheDAO process…
